Keep the light inside you to guide you so that you know where you are

This is My World

And so this is my world I made it that way

No one to tell me what I should say

Nothing disturbs the kind of life I have created

See I can decide when I hang things to dry

If I should eat or if I should cry

And whether I’m mad or not is no one else’s business

Sometimes it does feel alone but this map leads me

down no other road

If people don’t like me, that’s their problem, not mine

If I had to reach out, what would I find?

This is my world

And so this is my world

It fits like a glove

No reason to worry, no one to love

I find my escape in all the things that are familiar

But late in the night I feel restless and sad

I pace the hall, can’t do much about that

The shadows of things that never were begin to haunt me

Sometimes I watch them with longing

Her arm twines around his as they’re walking

But how should I get there, what do I need to do?

I’d have to change something, I’m scared aren’t you?

So this is my world

Tiny star

As you make your way into this dark-rimmed world

You seem to go unnoticed, your colors fly unfurled

But keep the light inside you to guide you

so that you know where you are

Tiny star

There are times

when the shadows seem to dim the dreams we keep

You start to doubt the fire within you

that no one dares to seek

But I have known you

you alone can show the world just what you are

Tiny star

May the light that we cast

Shed a glow that will last

Look around

When you gaze up at the sky what do you see?

Tonight the heavens are aglow

with strange lights and energy

To fill our eyes with wonder, keep that hunger

and you’ll travel far

Tiny star

You’ll go far

My tiny star
